Can I make leiningen use a specific javac version?

Question

Our build server has multiple versions of Java, to support our legacy projects that haven't yet updated to Java 1.8.

javac -version returns 1.7, which is what leiningen picks up (from /usr/bin/javac).

Is there a way to tell leiningen to use a different version of javac?

eg. we have 1.8 installed at /home/ubuntu/jdk1.8.0_11/bin/javac

Answer 1

Ghetto solution I came up with:

PATH=/home/ubuntu/jdk1.8.0_11/bin/:$PATH lein dist

I'm hoping there's an alternative approach.
